Even before Russia’s full-scale invasion began, he rarely left Volodymyr Zelensky’s side, whether welcoming foreign dignitaries to Kiev or accompanying the Ukrainian president abroad on important missions to secure military and diplomatic support. Now, Andriy Yermak’s resignation could be Zelenskiy’s biggest political test since taking office six and a half years ago. While the resignation is likely to go well domestically, it has created uncertainty at the center of the administration at a critical diplomatic point.

The next day, they are troubled by concerns of an impending AI bubble. It’s no surprise that the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), widely known as the “fear index,” rose in November, reaching its highest level since President Donald Trump’s “Emancipation Day” in April.
